What is a Viscoelastic Mattress?

A Viscoelastic Mattress, commonly known as a memory foam mattress, is designed to conform to the body’s contours, offering personalized support and pressure relief. This feature enhances patient comfort and can help prevent pressure sores. Schröder’s MT 02 model is an example of this type.

What is an Antidecubitus Mattress?

An Antidecubitus Mattress is specifically designed to prevent and manage pressure ulcers (bedsores) by evenly distributing body weight and reducing pressure points. These mattresses are essential for patients with limited mobility. Schröder’s MT 03 model serves this purpose.

What is a Soft Touch Mattress?

A Soft Touch Mattress features a gentle surface texture that enhances patient comfort. It provides a balance between support and softness, making it suitable for patients who require a more cushioned surface. Schröder’s MT 04 model is an example.

What is a Capsulated Mattress?

A Capsulated Mattress is encased in a protective cover, often waterproof and antimicrobial, to enhance hygiene and extend the mattress’s lifespan. This design is ideal for maintaining cleanliness in medical environments. Schröder’s MT 05 model exemplifies this design.

What is a Multible Mattress?

A Multible Mattress is a versatile mattress designed for various medical applications, offering flexibility in use across different healthcare settings. Schröder’s MT 06 model represents this category.

What is an Advance Dynamic Alternating Mattress?

An Advance Dynamic Alternating Mattress utilizes an alternating pressure system to aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers by periodically redistributing pressure points. This type of mattress is beneficial for patients at high risk of developing bedsores. Schröder’s MT 07 model is an example.

What is an Air Mattress?

An air mattress is a specialized medical mattress that uses air-filled chambers to provide adjustable support and pressure relief for patients. Air mattresses are commonly used for individuals at risk of developing pressure ulcers (bedsores), as they help to redistribute body weight and reduce prolonged pressure on specific areas.

Advanced alternating pressure air mattresses, like Schröder’s MT 07, feature a dynamic airflow system that continuously inflates and deflates different sections of the mattress. This prevents prolonged pressure on any one area, improves blood circulation, and reduces the risk of skin breakdown. Air mattresses are widely used in hospitals, nursing homes, and home care settings for bedridden patients or those with limited mobility.

How do I Choose the Right Mattress for My Needs?

Selecting the appropriate mattress depends on factors such as patient mobility, risk of pressure ulcers, and specific medical conditions. Consulting with healthcare professionals and considering the patient’s comfort and support requirements are essential steps in making an informed decision.

Are Schröder's Mattresses Compatible with Standard Hospital Beds?

Yes, Schröder’s mattresses are designed to be compatible with standard hospital bed sizes and frames, ensuring a proper fit and optimal functionality.

How Should I Maintain and Clean the Mattresses?

Proper maintenance includes regular cleaning with appropriate disinfectants, inspecting for signs of wear or damage, and following the manufacturer’s guidelines for care. Capsulated mattresses with protective covers can be wiped down easily, enhancing hygiene in medical settings.
